Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?”So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. (Luke 18:18-19, New King James Version)
It’s that time of the year, not the “most wonderful part” yet, but the preparations leading up to the “most wonderful time of the year”.
I know it’s going to happen, the one weekend will be spent looking for….the perfect tree.
The one that we are positive, is hiding in a lockbox, in the very back of the tree lot. We figure if we circle around the tree lot twenty times, they would figure we were on to them, relent, and bring out that perfect tree! THAT would make this the best time of the year, with everyone “ooing” and “aaahhing.”
The truth (sorry) is that there is no perfect tree.
Eventually the tree will start losing its pine needles, and the tree has to be taken down before it catches on fire and people think you purposely decided to have a bonfire in your dining room.
I don’t know how my husband does it.
I try to be a good sport and drag follow behind, but when I look at those trees, they all look the same. No matter how many angles I look, it’s a tree and it’s on sale. I shout, “woohoo! Let’s get it!” To my husband, something is always wrong, and we find ourselves walking back and forth. I feel like humming, “999 more trees in the lot.”
Good thing our Father in Heaven doesn’t do that to us.
He doesn’t look at us and say, “I just don’t know-what about this one? Hey got anything better?”
We’re all the same to Him. Sinners in need of saving. Sinners in need of His love.
This is an amazing time of the year, because its’ definitely not about us.
